These are (some of) my beliefs about HTML void elements. Can someone
indicate whether any of them are false?
1) There are 14 void elements, namely area, base, br, col, command,
embed, hr, img, input, keygen, link, meta, param, and source.
2) The form "<br>" is valid HTML.
3) The form "<hr>" is valid HTML.
4) The form "<br/>" is *invalid* HTML.
5) The form "<br/>" means the same as "<br>".
6) The form "<hr/>" is *invalid* HTML.
7) The form "<hr/>" means the same as "<hr>".
8) The form "<br></br>" is *invalid* HTML.
9) The form "<br></br>" means the same as "<br><br>".
10) The form "<hr></hr>" is *invalid* HTML.
11) The form "<hr></hr>" means the same as "<hr>".
12) All other void elements behave like hr.
13) The list of void elements will never grow.
